Once your wiki is on our free K–12 Plus plan, you can create up to 100 accounts at a time with our User Creator tool. You will not need to provide email addresses for your students when you use the User Creator Tool:

  1. Navigate to your wiki.
  2. Select Manage Wiki.
  3. Under People, select User Creator.
  4. Choose the wiki you would like to add the users to.
  5. Enter your list of users as text, or upload an excel or .csv file with usernames and passwords. Email addresses aren't required to create accounts. Keep in mind that every Wikispaces username must be unique. Try using numbers, or initials, or a first name-last name combination to create unique usernames.
  6. The User Creator will guide you through the process of setting up your accounts. If you have any questions, send us an email at help@wikispaces.com .
